Re: Coworkers CHL brother stops armed robbery

I believe the BG still had possession of the handgun and was still a threat to the shooter and the public. The shot through the doorway at the BG on the pavement made me cringe a little but there again the BG could have rolled over and fired back at the GG. The GG had no way of knowing that the BG's gun was "inoperable".

edit: Went back and looked at the video again and it says 3 angles. So it was either 3 or 4 shots. The middle 2 shots could be the same one also. Hard to really tell without knowing the layout of the facility.
If it was 4 shots then three connected and that makes him a better shot then we though

Re: Coworkers CHL brother stops armed robbery

I can tell you this FL is a lot like Texas; He or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony[/quote]
First off, Salty1 didn't write the whole post, the first paragraph was written by phillip964. Secondly, phillip964 was not serious and was being facetious.[/
Thank you for pointing that out; the question is still open "does FL law say you can shoot a fleeing felon". I have looked and can't seem to find a clear answer, it says you have a right to defend yourself but when is it “murder”. He pointed out a good point that the last two shot were “questionable”; did the man overstep his rights? We know here in Texas it’s OK but what about there

I am sure happy that your not a DA determining exactly when a persons life is no longer in danger. At what point during their attempted escape did you determine that they would not turn around and return fire with absolute certainty that the situation is over? I watched the video many times and am unable to come up with the same conclusion as you have.
I am curious how can you tell the was not in fear for his life? can you say for sure the would not go outside and comeback in? What statue of FL law says you CAN"T shoot a fleeing felon? Sorry just because someone leaves does not mean the fight is over, too many times they go out and regroup and come back in.

Re: Coworkers CHL brother stops armed robbery

The bonds for the BG's are insanely low IMHO...30K for the gun toter and 11K for the bat toter. They will be back on the street by Labor Day.
one of them is already out on bond

Re: Coworkers CHL brother stops armed robbery

[quote]Hours after his release from the hospital, Henderson, who talked about the pain he feels in his buttock and hip, said the plan was to “barge in, get the money and leave.” He said “he never expected anyone to be armed.”[/quote]
“The gun was broken and rusty and wasn't loaded. Nobody was going to get hurt,” he said, standing with crutches.
